.Dt BOOT_CONFIG 8
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm boot_config
.Nd how to change kernel configuration at boot
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm BOOT_CONFIG
is a kernel option that makes it possible to change the configuration
at boot time.
The same interface is available from userland, using the
.Fl e
argument to
.Xr config 8 .
.Pp
The boot time configuration is invoked by passing the
.Fl c
option, either from the firmware prompt or,
depending on the architecture, when the bootstrap loader
prompts for a kernel to boot:
.Bd -literal
>> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 3.26
.No "boot>" Ic boot -c
booting hd0a:/bsd: ...
\&...
real mem  = 1073086464 (1023MB)
avail mem = 1043189760 (994MB)

Changes made can be saved for the next reboot, by using
.Xr config 8 .
.Sh COMMANDS
.Bl -tag -width "disable devno | dev"
.It Ic add Ar dev
Add a device through copying another.
.It Ic base Cm 8 | 10 | 16
Change the base of numbers displayed and entered,
e.g. I/O addresses in a VAXen are octal.
.It Ic change Ar devno | dev
Modify one or more devices.
.It Ic disable Ar devno | dev
Disable one or more devices.
.It Ic enable Ar devno | dev
Enable one or more devices.
.It Ic exit
Continue boot.
.It Ic find Ar devno | dev
Find one or more devices.
.It Ic help
Give a short summary of all commands and their arguments.
.It Ic list
Show all known devices, a screen at a time.
.It Ic lines Op Ar count
Set the number of rows per page.
.It Ic quit
Continue boot.
.It Ic show Op Ar attr Op Ar val
Show all devices for which attribute
.Ar attr
has the value
.Ar val .
.It Ic timezone Op Ar minuteswest Op Ar dst
Change the
.Va tz
timezone structure.
.Va minuteswest
is the number of minutes west of GMT and
.Va dst
is non-zero if Daylight Saving Time is in effect.
Without arguments, displays its current value.
.It Ic verbose
Toggle the autoconfig verbose variable.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
The Ethernet card is not detected at boot because the kernel configuration
does not match the physical hardware configuration,
e.g. wrong IRQ in OpenBSD/i386.
The Ethernet card is supposed to use the
.Xr ne 4
driver.

ne1 seems to match the configuration except it uses IRQ 5 instead of IRQ 10.
So the irq on ne1 should be changed via the
.Fa change
command.
The device can be specified by either name or number.

The show command is useful for finding which devices have a certain attribute.
It can also be used to find those devices with a particular value for
an attribute.

It is possible to add new devices, but only devices that were linked into the
kernel.
If a new device is added, following devices will be renumbered.
